eGamer Community Awards 2011: Day 3

Here we are, the final day of our community awards. If you missed day one and day two, then be sure to check them out before this one. Day 3 saw us hosting polls for Best Story, Best Graphics, The Most Disappointing Game and, of course, Game of the Year. As the saying goes, we left the best for last. We saw some healthy participation for these last few awards, and once again we’d like to thank you, our community, for getting involved. We definitely hope you stick around to see our awards, beginning next week! Now, let’s take a look at what you guys had to say, and wrap up our community awards.

Community Awards 2011: Best Story

Winner: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

There were a total of 33 votes for this category, and the winner was The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with an impressive 18 of those votes, including one from myself. The game that landed second was the outstanding Deus Ex: Human Revolution with just 5 votes, and we saw AG vote for this one. Third place went to the recent Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, with 4 votes. As for the rest of the list, we saw The Witcher 2 make an appearance with 3 votes, including ones from Alessandro and Cavie. The final relevant vote went to Saints Row: The Third. We saw two people voting for the PS3 exclusive title Heavy Rain, but unfortunately it released last year and therefore cannot be counted in this year’s awards. Incidentally, Heavy Rain actually won the Best Story award last year on eGamer.

All in all, it was a pretty straightforward win for Skyrim from our community.

Community Awards 2011: Best Graphics

Winner: Battlefield 3

This award got 27 votes, and the winner landed up being Battlefield 3, claiming 13 of those votes. That included a vote from our very own Duncan. Coming in second was Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, which got 9 votes and saw myself, AG and Alessandro voting in favour of it. Third place went to The Witcher 2, backed by Cavie, which got itself 3 votes in total. Then our readers really made us laugh with the final two votes, as we saw the likes of Minecraft and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 make the list with a vote each. Oh you guys, sometimes you’re too much. Either way, Battlefield 3 took this one!

Community Awards 2011: Most Disappointing Game

Loser: Duke Nukem Forever

For this award, we had a total of 29 voters, with the winner, or rather the loser, being the very notorious and controversial Duke Nukem Forever. It claimed 15 of the votes, including one from AG. Coming in second place, and sure to make Cavie cry, was Dragon Age 2, seeing itself land up with 6 votes, including one from me. The game that took third place was Rage, which got 3 votes, including one from our resident pirate Alessandro. The next game to make the list was Dungeon Siege 3, which got 2 votes and saw Cavie voting for it. The last three games that made our community’s list was Angry Birds, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Mortal Kombat, which all got one vote each.

Community Awards 2011: Game of the Year

Winner: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The most prestigious award amassed a total of 35 votes with our readers. Quite deserving so, global legend The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was named our community’s Game of the Year after receiving an admirable 18 votes, including one from Duncan. The game that took second place was the awesome Batman: Arkham City, which saw me voting for it, because we all know that I am undoubtedly a boundary-less Batman-obsessed freak. Otherwise, my personal objective choice goes to Skyrim as well. That aside, Portal 2 claimed third place after getting 4 votes, which included ones from AG and Cavie. Fourth place was a tie between Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and Battlefield 3, which each received two votes. Alessandro couldn’t help himself from voting for Rayman: Origins, and someone had to make us smile by putting up Angry Birds and voting for it. The final vote made us remember why we enjoy your guys’ and girls’ company so much, as it went to Hello Kitty Island Adventures.———————————————————————————————————————————————
